Christmas cheer
As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.
This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!
We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.
2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
Story titles
Hi! Please note that it is not necessary to pipe-switch story titles (unless there is another article with the same name). Most story titles have redirects that take them to the page. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 14:16, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
Page move
Hi! Please do not move/rename article names; it is preferred that an admin move pages. When a non-admin moves a page, he leaves a redirect behind, which in most cases is not necessary. Non-admins don't have the ability to delete pages, so we end up with a lot of useless redirects.
What you can do instead is one of two actions:
- Use a {{rename}} tag that includes the name you think the article should have. This is used when there ought to be a discussion about the name change.
- Use a {{speedy rename}} tag. This is used when the name change is pretty obvious and needs no discussion, as in the case of Edward Anderson, the page you moved. To fill out this tag, you would type the following inside the tag: {{speedy rename|new=new name|links=no|user=your name}}. The page would be added to a list of speedy rename pages that an admin will change at some point in the future.
Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 14:57, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
WWII
Just stopping by to give a big WOW at the work you've done on World War II! It's almost daunting to see that you've read, seen, or listened to every Doctor Who story involving the War :) Although I noticed you removed a reference to Warlords of Utopia ... was there any particular reason for that, or would you be okay with me re-adding it? NateBumber ☎ 03:17, August 30, 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks! Admittedly I haven't read or listened through everything there - there's quite a bit that I've just dipped in to and taken out small details (mainly novelisations) or added something from a different wiki page. It's like archive diving while writing a history book. No reason the Warlords of Utopia bit went. Must have been overlooked and lost in a big copy-paste. You may re-add it at your leisure. --TheCoud'veBeenKing ☎ 11:20, August 30, 2017 (UTC)
The Second Dalek War and the Dalek annuals
Hi there. First off, great work on renovating the page on the Second Dalek War! Secondly, I saw that the reference to The Mechanical Planet remained. I have an abandoned draft for a 27th century Dalek invasion article at User:Borisashton/Sandbox5 because I originally thought that the two conflicts were irreconcilable as the same. Do you have any thoughts on the matter with your evidently expansive knowledge? --Borisashton ☎ 14:55, July 17, 2020 (UTC)
